Incredible amount of money Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are set to make following major Netflix fight

Money talks

Here is the eye-watering amount of money Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have reportedly made after their controversial Netflix fight.

After a postponement and speculation about whether or not it would actually go ahead, YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul managed to beat legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the hotly anticipated Netflix bout at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Although 'Iron Mike' looked ahead during the early rounds of the fight, the 58-year-old soon began to tire out - allowing the much younger Paul to ultimately win the match via unanimous decision.

However, it's fair to say that both men are winners when it comes to the amount of money made.

During the lead up to the fight, Paul had made no secret of the fact that his main motive for taking on Tyson was financial gain, telling SPORTbible in an exclusive interview: "This is definitely my biggest payday, of all the fights for sure."

Tyson on the other hand, had appeared less forthcoming when it came to talk of money, adding that he was instead 'seeking glory' from the bout.

However, we imagine that Tyson is certainly grateful for the bumper paycheck after losing to 27-year-old Paul.

According to numerous reports, Tyson has walked away with a tidy $20 million (£15.8 million) for his efforts. Paul on the other hand, is set to have banked a much higher fee - earning a whopping $40 million (£31.7 million) for his trouble.

Which means that when it comes down to the cash - let's be honest here - both men have left the ring winners.

This may not be the final total for both of the men either, with Paul even claiming the pair could be in to make some pretty hefty bonuses should certain targets be hit during the fight.

"There are definitely certain guaranteed figures and other certain built-in bonuses and stuff on top of sales – key performance indicators that trigger certain things," Paul explained.

Paul didn't elaborate further on the bonuses, however, we can only imagine it's been a pretty lucrative night for The Problem Child.
